10th Edition of the Classic and Preeminent Text of Clinical Nutrition Published

The 10th edition of the classic and preeminent text of Clinical Nutrition – Shils et al, Modern Nutrition in Health & Disease[1] – was just published. It contains chapters by UAB Nutrition Sciences faculty members Sarah Morgan, Joe Baggott, Gary Hunter, Christine Ritchie, and Douglas Heimburger. Margarita Treuth, a former postdoc in the Department of Nutrition Sciences, also wrote a chapter. Roland Weinsier was to be an Associate Editor of the book – in fact, he recruited some or all of the UAB authors – but the book was still in early development when he took ill, so Dr. Shils instead placed a Memoriam in the book’s front matter in honor of Roland.
